I'm still using my Westinghouse 42" LCD from 2006. It was $400 less than the $2000 going price back then of 42" HDTVs. It had some issues (1080P on only one input, other two digital inputs 1080i) but continues to work well.

That being said, I'm now shopping for a larger screen, and will demote it to bedroom use.

That's a good question. If anyone knows, I'd love to know when. How long will it last? I.e., will that deal be good for half an hour? Or 3 minutes?

And, what does the 'F' stand for in FHDTV? (Or rather, I know it means full - but I thought any 40" or larger 1080p was full - no one else seems to use it, or have I just not been looking closely enough?
